Guild Wars 2

Finally got my Engi to 80 last night and I’m looking to put together a set or two for her but I’m lost as to which to make for solo roaming. Yeah I zerg surf every now and then but 90% of my time in game is solo roaming looking for fights. What builds would you suggest for this? I’ve come across quite a few condi engies who were brutal, I’m not sure if I’ve ever come across any roaming power engies. I’ve seen a few builds regarding HGH/Mortar for WvW but I don’t know if they’d hold up for solo roaming. I’ve also seen a few condi builds for HGH as well but didn’t want to invest without knowing what their main purpose was. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Furthermore after reading this topic here it has me really doubting the power of the condi engie :-(

I actually had a little fun on condi engi today. It actually does pretty ok in the fighting realm, however, needs some tweaks. For the primary tweak, they need to fix toughness so condi is not just as squishy as zerker. I was killing very fine until I got touched by peeps, and it seemed like condi with a glass cannon. Condi is one of the few saving graces for engi at the moment. Alot of the other aspects of engi at the moment are unsatisfactory.
